Chapter 30
Visions
Sunshine, the symbol of a new day. I rose from my bed and looked around the room. Rosaline wasn't in my room with me; I figured she'd slept on the couch. I got up out of bed and stretched. It was 9:30 in the morning; I decided to see if Antoine was online. I walked over to the computer and waited for it to turn on. When it finally did, I signed into chat. Antoine was online
Renesmee: Hi.
Antoine: Hello, Renesmee.
Renesmee: Let's meet at our spot in 15 minutes.
Antoine: Alright, looking forward to it. I love you.
Renesmee: See you there.
I logged off. I noticed that I didn't say I love you back. It didn't feel right; I needed some explanations for something's. Answers. I got up and got dressed and left my room. My parents sat at the dining room table, Rosaline was fast asleep on the couch. They looked at me oddly when I came out.
"Mom, Dad, can I go hunting?"
They exchanged glances.
"Yes, you have half an hour." My father said strictly. I nodded and ran out the door.
The wind in my face felt good, I knew I shouldn't get used to it, for, I wouldn't experience it for long. I knew I had some kind of punishment coming on for my sudden leave, and technically I committed grand theft auto. That would probably get me a month for sure. Then it dawned on me…I hadn't even told my parents about the speeding ticket.
I'm screwed.
Antoine stood under the tree; he smiled and held his arms out for me to leap into. I ignored them.
"Okay, I need an explanation."
"On what?"
"Let's start with why you signed off every time I signed in?"
He looked around and then back at me. "Coincidence?"
"I think not."
"Maybe I didn't want to talk to you at that time; after all I was away on personal reasons."
"What is with you?"
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"You know exactly what I'm talking about, you're being a jerk!"
"No I'm not! I need space, Renesmee!"
"Fine, you want space? I'll give you space!"
I turned my back from him and began to walk away. He ran behind me and grabbed my wrist.
"You don't walk away from me!"
"Oh really? I believe I just did!"
I yanked my arm away from him and began to walk again. I heard his steps behind me and suddenly I was thrust into his arms.
"Let me go!"
I kicked and screamed and punched.
"You have no respect!" he screamed back.
There was a sudden snarl from the woods that made Antoine jump. A wolf jumped out of the bushes, teeth out. It was Jacob.
"Get out of here mutt!" Antoine screamed.
Jake lunged at him and pushed him to the ground. He began to beat and attempt to tear him apart. I don't know how he did it, but he successfully knocked Antoine out. He ran back into the woods, and then reappeared in his human form. I ran into his arms.
"Oh my god, I can't believe him!" I cried into his shoulder.
"It's okay, I'm here now. Let's get you back to your place." He whispered. We began to walk to my house. When we were just a little ways away he turned to me.
"I think I better let you go from here, I know your parents wouldn't want me to bring you home myself, I'm not exactly on their good side."
I nodded and ran away. When I got inside my parents were sitting at the dining room table still, they hardly ever moved.
"Come here, Renesmee." My father instructed firmly.
I put my head down and walked over to the table.
"Sit." He instructed.
I did so.
"Okay, your mother and I have thought, and discussed all night, what your punishment would be."
I looked at them and nodded.
"We've decided that you are grounded for 3 months. This is for your irresponsible behavior."
I nodded and then smiled to myself, maybe they didn't know about the ticket, I could successfully pay it off and they'd never know. I stood up from the table.
"We're not done talking." My mother said abruptly.
I slowly turned and looked at them.
"What else is there?"
"We said three months for you running away, you're grounded for 5 total."
"What? What else did I do?"
My father held up the ticket with one eyebrow raised.
"Oh."
"Oh is right. Two more months for this ticket." He said sternly. I nodded and turned away. I walked into my room and jumped on the bed.
"Auuuuugggghhhhhhh!" I groaned into my pillow. What am I supposed to do for 5 months?"
I smiled to myself and walked over to the computer.
"That means no computer, Renesmee!" my mother shouted. I swear, she can see through walls. I walked back over to my bed and laid down. I'm not even tired! I can't just lie here; I have to find something to do. I sat up and looked around the room; there was nothing to entertain me but the computer. There was a knock on my door. My mother entered.
"We're going over to Carlisle's."
"Okay?"
"You're coming too."
I sighed and got up. We all left the house. We reached Carlisle's and walked in. Everyone sat around the T.V. watching football. Alice wasn't there.
"Where's Alice?" I asked.
"She's upstairs in her room, she's not too pleased." Esme answered.
I walked up the stairs and knocked on Alice's door.
"Come in." she said, but it wasn't cheerful.
I slowly walked in and she turned away.
"Alice, I'm really sorry."
"For what?"
I looked around the room and then at the floor.
"For stealing your car."
"Why'd you do it?"
"I don't know, impulse?"
She turned around, she was laughing.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Because, do you know how many cars I've stolen, they hardly ever get returned!"
"Yeah, but dad said you were really mad, like madder than he's seen you in over a hundred years."
"Please, I love acting mad; I've been pretty good at masking my thoughts when he's around."
Her face went blank; she was having a vision.
"Alice? Alice?" I snapped my fingers and waved my hand in front of her face. Nothing. She finally came to and was horrified.
"Go downstairs. Go go go!" she hollered. I did what I was told and I ran downstairs. She was right behind me.
"Carlisle! It's an emergency!"
"What is it Alice?"
"Two days."
"Two days what?"
"Two more days…they'll be here."
